HAPPY 80TH ANNIVERSARY, SUPERMAN!!!

Though the ACTION COMICS cover lists June, the first appearance of Superman (aka, Kal-El, Clark Kent, the Man of Steel) hit newsstands eighty years ago, April 18, 1938.


The comic-book scene was never quite the same and soon thereafter came an infinite stream of fantastic heroes, including Batman; Robin; Wonder Woman; Captain Marvel (Shazam!); Captain America; the Sub-mariner...the Human Torch, to name but a few. 


Let's devote a moment of respectful reflection for Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's iconic champion and rejoice in how our Kryptonian friend reshaped American mythology and global, pop culture forever. 

Up, up and away!!! Celebrate Superman's historic arrival today!!!
